They're Remaking 'Alien' -- the 'Prometheus' thread

Charlize Theron is doing push-ups naked

ok maybe i will watch this.

It's being shot in digital 3-D.

Fuck this noise.

scott says he's never shooting in 2d again

Yeah, I believe that. When are we going to start getting 3-D rom-coms from these absolutists?

I've now seen three or four films "shot in digital 3-D" in 2-D, and not once have I felt I missed anything. In fact, nor would have I ever known they were even shot in 3-D from the 2-D versions.

digital 3-D naked charlize theron pushups

we didn't start the fire

I approve Ridley Scott trying to scare me instead of put me to sleep as he has seemed so intent on doing of late.

Matchstick Men...in 3-D

hadn't this thread title been edited to point out that this is the 'Prometheus' thread earlier?

It had, but then it hiccuped or something. Let me try again.

Charlize, earlier you joked about doing nudity in the film.

THERON: I wasn’t joking, gosh! I’m an Academy Award winner. I’m serious.

LINDELOF: Why would we ever joke about something like that?

the comments section y'all the comments section!

lol

“We begin at the beginning,” Lindelof said during a session with reporters before the film’s big Hall H panel presentation. “Ridley has been cryptically obtuse about everything, but there are some big ideas in Prometheus. It covers a vast expanse of time, past, present, and future.”

So it's now a remake of 2001?

yeah it's a crossover. original it was called HALiens

seriously though it sounds like Mission to Mars with Giger monsters more than anything

i hope it's better than Hannibal.

Hannibal was one of the least bad of his recent films

Still can't re-watch it due to a couple scenes making me want to vomit and have nightmares, though.

The Predators didnt create the aliens. The space jockey’s created the Aliens as a weapon or they were mearly collectors of them to use as a weapon. It’s conflicting in the literature. They would drop them onto a planet to wipe out indigenous life and would then come back to kill off all of the aliens using sonic weapons. That space jockey ship in Alien was one of their offensive drop ships. The Predators simply use the Aliens as a means to have something to hunt. They would drop a few eggs down, wait, then go hunt. An alien queen kill is I believe the greatest trophy in their culture.

looks like a fancy codpiece or a bicycle seat

nah, not an alien prequel in any way, no sir.

why do they hide these trailers when they've been shown in public? seems mad.

Since ilx has been down and shit, why not:

I should know better, but this undeniably *looks* awesome, FUIUD.

Pretty sure that removing the unheimlich mystery from the space jockey and the derelict can only be a bad thing but yeah I can't help but feel a little bit stoked either.

So excited for this.

Yeah, agreed -- I admit the trailer sold me.

Meantime, bring on the viral marketing:

but yeah there's a magic eye thing going. it's a sailboat.

not really feeling this fake ted talk /picky

didn't watch it tbh. Not into that kind of viral marketing stuff

i dunno what guy pearce is doing, ted talks don't sound like the speeches from braveheart

I don't get the Guy Pearce thing, according to it the movie takes place in the 2020s? And we're supposed to have interstellar space travel and cyborgs by then? Is the movie set in some alternate Earth?
